Early Voting in Person

Early voting, also known as One-Stop Absentee Voting, allows any registered voter to cast their absentee ballot in person on select days prior to the Election Day. For the 2018 general election, early voting begins on October 18th and runs until November 3rd at 1:00 P.M.

Locations and times vary for One-Stop Voting, but it is often at the County Board of Elections Office. Find your early voting site here or contact your County Board of Elections for hours and locations (contact info can be found here).

You may register to vote during early voting. See the next section for more information.
